Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the divi-booster domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Is there any protective equipment worn during training? | Shobukan Dojo

Unlike Kendo, there is no use of protective equipment during training. Some light contact is made with the weapons but not in a harmful manner. There is great emphasis on learning new techniques slowly, improving ones accuracy through repetition and time. The practice of ‘sun dome’ (stopping a strike with the Jo or cut with the sword, within 1″ of the target) is used extensively throughout Kata training.
